Let's say you get a cold drink (can or glass) from the fridge & take it outside in the summer. What's the best solution(s) anyone has found to keep the drink cool until you've finished it without having to keep refilling with ice, etc?
One of these helps.

All sorts of insulated beakers available from most supermarkets.
What about a wine bottle cooler sleave, of the type you keep in the freezer?
Drink it.
Then, when ready, go get another one.
Is the *Wrong* answer....
Drink it and . . . . . .Send the S.O to get another and pour it into a chilled glass for you...
Bloody amateurs ....I dunno
If a can, sit it in a bucket of water - once you've had a couple of swigs it will bob around; floating on a semi-submerged ring if it's a glass.
I use evaporative cooling to cool my beer when I'm camping. I wrap the bottle in a cloth, soak the cloth and stand it in the sun. Evaporation cools the beer down nicely.
A similar suggestion I've seen is to put a sports bottle in a sock and soak the sock.
And there was me thinking that training a 5 year old how to open a beer bottle was a waste of time.
At that age they are pleased to help - I never tired of hearing the question "do you want another beer yet?"
Trouble is, even if there is an infinite supply of SOs and 5 year olds, you have to get up every so often for a piss anyway. (Different if you have a large garden.)
What does the size of the garden have to do with it?
It isn't worth worrying about the few yards I have to stagger from garden to WC in my town house. But in my country estate, I'd just piss into the hedge and the procession of SOs and 5yos can continue.
Put a tetrapak in the freezer. When you go outside, put the drink on the frozen tetrapak. They refreeze pretty much indefinitely. That'll make it much colder than a wet sock.

Co2 Fire extinguisher? Might be a bit of overkill though!

That was about the age I started referring to my son as the "beer monkey". 12 years later it's still stuck.
They soon stop though; however recently he's started again - but only cos the bugger wants one himself...
I'm sure he's found a good use for his empties....
Camping shops used to sell unglazed terracotta covers, standing in glazed dishes that you filled with water, to keep milk bottles and butter cool.

i thought you meant you'd just keep pissing yourself lying on the sunbed...

also as a wine cooler

If it was that bad, I get my jester in. He'd keep taking the piss...
